Hotter than ...

The Canada's Environment Minister has silenced a civil service environmental scientist who is author of a sci-fi book on global warming called "Hotter than Hell." She's forbidden him to publicly speak on his book or the science behind it.

The plot may be fiction but global warming sure ain't. And IMHO there's not much we can do about it. The earth's profligate ways have contributed to the trend, but how much? The human race gobbles up fossil fuels and spits their byproducts into the atmosphere at a dizzying rate. Does that mean the warming trend will be reversed if we stop? I think not.

The Earth is getting hotter. Than Hell? Maybe not, but hotter. Take a gander at the Global Warming International Center's Extreme Event Index if you want to get a little shiver. Maybe it's time to pack up the surfboards and head inland. Denver anyone?
